The Greek government’s plans – after the review is completed – seem very interesting. The first thing the government should to do is to fulfill its financial obligations towards the public and private sector.

In a press release the Eurogroup said that an agreement would be possible in the next few days and, if so, stands ready to reconvene in an extraordinary meeting to agree on the next steps towards the closing of the first review.

Negotiations with Greece’s lenders will be completed by the end of this month, barring any unforseen circumstances. The Greek government will then be able to start the process of the country’s debt restructure.

The Ambassador of Norway in Athens, His Excellency Jørn Eugene Gjelstad, spoke to EmbassyNews.net and commented on the current developments in Greek and European politics, the economy and the refugee crisis.
